Elder HJones: Me Encanta la Obra Misional

See how far apart Arica is from Paipote?

 Me encanta la obra misional. La obra es dificil, pero yo he apendidio mucho y recibido mucho bendiciones en la mision.

I love missionary work. The work is difficult, but I have learned much and receive many blessings in the mission field.

In the short six months that I have been on the mission, my love for this gospel and missionary work has grown so much. It is truly a blessing to serve people of a different country and share with those the message of happiness that we have.

Right now, the area that I am in is kinda difficult. There are many less active members. It's crazy to me that the true church, the only true church in the world, can have so many problems in an area. But, I have learned that it isn't that the Church and the gospel that has problems, it's the members. The gospel and the Church are perfect, but the people in the church, the members, are not.

My new companion is Elder Perez from Columbia. We have been out in the mission for the same amount of time. His family consists of just his mom and him. He was a convert to the church and baptized at 16. He is awesome and works really hard. We work really well together, and both of us are growing as missionaries.

Elder Davis is also in my zone. It is so great to see him.
